Technical information: Employment: (202) 691-6559 USDL 05-433 http://www.bls.gov/sae/ Unemployment: 691-6392 http://www.bls.gov/lau/ For release: 10:00 A.M. EST Media contact: 691-5902 Thursday, March 17, 2005 METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: JANUARY 2005 Unemployment rates were lower in January than a year earlier in 275 of the 367 metropolitan areas, higher in 86 areas, and unchanged in 6 areas, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Two areas registered jobless rates below 3.0 percent, while 10 areas--8 of which were located in California--recorded unemployment rates of at least 10.0 percent. The national unemployment rate was 5.7 percent, not seasonally adjusted. (The information contained in this release reflects the introduction of newly defined metropolitan areas as well as changes in the methodology for the Local Area Unemployment Statistics program. See the Box Note on page 4 for more information.) Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) In January, 32 metropolitan areas reported unemployment rates below 4.0 percent, up from 18 areas a year earlier, while 79 areas had rates of at least 7.0 percent, down from 92 areas in January 2004. Honolulu, Hawaii, and Harrisonburg, Va., recorded the lowest unemployment rates, 2.8 and 2.9 percent, respectively. The highest January unemployment rates were posted in seven California areas with large agricultural sectors: El Centro, 15.9 percent; Visalia-Porterville, 12.9 percent; Merced, 12.7 percent; Hanford- Corcoran, 12.3 percent; Salinas, 11.9 percent; Fresno, 11.6 percent; and Yuba City, 11.4 percent. Overall, 186 areas recorded unemployment rates below the U.S. rate, 165 areas had higher rates, and 16 areas had the same rate. (See table 1.) Monroe, La., experienced the largest over-the-year jobless rate decrease in January (-4.4 percentage points), followed by Ocean City, N.J. (-3.4 points). Two areas in Washington--Longview and Yakima--reported the next largest decreases (-2.1 percentage points each). Seventy-two additional areas posted rate decreases of at least 1.0 percentage point. Janesville, Wis., had the largest unemployment rate increase from January 2004 (+2.9 percentage points), followed by Sumter, S.C. (+2.5 points). Thirteen additional areas had over-the-year rate increases of 1.0 percentage point or more. Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or more, Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., recorded the lowest unemployment rate, 3.7 percent, followed by Richmond, Va., 3.9 percent, and Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz., 4.0 percent. The highest unemployment rates among the large areas were reported in Detroit-Warren- Livonia, Mich., 7.9 percent, and Memphis, Tenn.-Miss.-Ark., 7.3 percent. Ten other large areas had rates of at least 6.0 percent. Thirty-six large areas recorded lower jobless rates than in January 2004, 11 posted higher rates, and 2 had no change. New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa., and San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif., registered the largest over-the-year jobless rate decreases (-1.7 percentage points each), followed closely by Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton, Ore.-Wash. (-1.6 points). Nine additional areas experienced jobless rate declines of at least 1.0 percentage point. Memphis, Tenn.-Miss.-Ark., and New Orleans-Metairie- Kenner, La., posted the largest rate increases from a year ago (+1.0 percentage point each). St. Louis, Mo.-Ill., and Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., had the next largest increases (+0.7 and +0.6 percentage point, respectively). - 2 - Metropolitan Division Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) Eleven of the most populous metropolitan areas are composed of 34 metropolitan (or NECTA) divisions, which are essentially separately identifiable employment centers within a metropolitan area. The two divisions in the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., metropolitan area posted the lowest unemployment rates among all the divisions in January--Bethesda-Frederick-Gaithersburg, Md., 3.4 percent, and Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., 3.8 percent. The Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, Calif., division reported the next lowest jobless rate, 4.0 percent. The highest unemployment rates among the divisions were in Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich., 9.0 percent, and Lawrence-Methuen- Salem, Mass.-N.H., 8.9 percent. (See table 2.) Thirty of the 34 metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year unemployment rate declines in January. Jobless rates were down over the year by 1.0 percentage point or more in 12 of the metropolitan divisions. The largest decreases occurred in Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H. (-2.0 percentage points), New York-Wayne-White Plains, N.Y.-N.J. (-1.9 points), and Camden, N.J. (-1.8 points). The two divisions making up the Detroit- Warren-Livonia, Mich., metropolitan area--Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn and Warren-Farmington Hills-Troy--recorded the largest unemployment rate increases from last January (+0.6 and +0.5 percentage point, respectively). In 6 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the range between the highest and lowest division jobless rates was 1.0 percentage point or more. The metropolitan areas that had the largest rate differences between their divisions were Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.- N.H. (Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 8.9 percent, compared with both Framingham, Mass., and Nashua, N.H.-Mass., 4.4 percent each); Los Angeles- Long Beach-Santa Ana, Calif. (Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, 6.3 percent, compared with Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, 4.0 percent); Detroit-Warren- Livonia, Mich. (Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, 9.0 percent, compared with Warren- Farmington Hills-Troy, 7.0 percent); and Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Wash. (Tacoma, 6.7 percent, compared with Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, 4.8 percent). Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) In January, 328 metropolitan areas recorded over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment, 35 reported decreases, and 4 were unchanged. The largest over-the-year gain in employment was posted in New York- Northern New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (+90,900), with over half of that gain occurring in the New York-Wayne-White Plains, N.Y.-N.J. metropolitan division (+54,500). Large employment increases also were reported in the following metropolitan areas: Washington-Arlington- Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va. (+77,300), Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (+72,500), Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Miami Beach, Fla. (+72,000), Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas (+58,400), and Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev. (+57,100). The largest over-the-year percentage increases occurred in St. George, Utah (+11.3 percent), Myrtle Beach-Conway-North Myrtle Beach, S.C. (+11.0 percent), Ocean City, N.J. (+10.9 percent), Coeur d’Alene, Idaho (+8.8 percent), and Yuma, Ariz. (+8.3 percent). (See tables 3 and 4.) Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (-24,000), experienced the largest over- the-year employment decline, followed by Lansing-East Lansing, Mich. (-5,600), Rochester, N.Y. (-5,400), Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, La. (-3,200), Bloomington-Normal, Ill. (-2,800), and San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif. (-2,300). The largest over-the-year percentage declines were reported in Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, La. (-3.9 percent), Bloomington- Normal, Ill. (-3.2 percent), Muncie, Ind. (-2.7 percent), Lansing-East Lansing, Mich. (-2.4 percent), and Kokomo, Ind., and Sioux City, Iowa-Neb.- S.D. (-2.1 percent each). - 3 - Over the year, nonfarm employment increased in 33 of the 35 metropolitan areas with annual average employment levels above 750,000 in 2004. The largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment in these large areas were posted in Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev. (+7.3 percent), Orlando, Fla. (+4.7 percent), Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (+4.5 percent), and Charlotte-Gastonia-Concord, N.C.-S.C. (+3.5 percent). Detroit-Warren- Livonia, Mich., and San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif., were the only large areas to report employment decreases, with losses of 1.2 and 0.3 percent, respectively. ______________________________ The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment release for February is scheduled to be issued on March 31. The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment release for February is scheduled to be issued on April 7. -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | Correction of Data for Puerto Rico | | | | The preliminary January 2005 civilian labor force and unemploy- | | ment data for Puerto Rico, originally published on March 10, 2005, | | in the January 2005 Regional and State Employment and Unemployment | | news release (USDL 05-384), were incorrect. The corrected values, | | including the not seasonally adjusted data in table 1 of this re- | | lease, are as follows: | | | | Seasonally Not seasonally | | adjusted adjusted | | | | Civilian labor force (000's).. 1,383.8 1,373.0 | | Unemployed (000's)............ 153.6 148.4 | | Unemployment rate............. 11.1 10.8 | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------- - 4 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | Changes in Local Area Unemployment Statistics | | and in Metropolitan Area Designations | | | | Beginning with the release of data for January 2005, a rede- | | signed method for producing labor force estimates for states and | | selected substate areas is being implemented. The redesigned | | method encompasses a number of changes: (1) the introduction of | | improved time-series regression models for all states, the | | District of Columbia, New York City, the Los Angeles-Long Beach- | | Glendale metropolitan division (formerly the Los Angeles-Long | | Beach metropolitan area), and the respective balances of New York | | and California; (2) the introduction of real-time benchmarking to | | national Current Population Survey (CPS) estimates of employment | | and unemployment at the census division and state level; and (3) | | the introduction of time-series regression models for six addi- | | tional substate areas and their respective balances of state. | | The estimates also reflect routine annual updates to population | | estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. More information on the | | changes is available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Divi- | | sion of Local Area Unemployment Statistics Web site at | | http://www.bls.gov/lau/lauschanges2005.htm. | | | | Other changes affecting the estimation for substate areas in- | | clude: (1) incorporation of Census 2000 inputs for estimation | | and (2) updates in substate estimation methodology. All data | | from January 2000 forward will be revised to incorporate these | | changes. | | | | Both the metropolitan area labor force data presented in | | tables 1 and 2 of this news release and the metropolitan area | | nonfarm payroll employment data presented in tables 3 and 4 of | | this release have been revised to reflect the introduction of | | newly defined metropolitan areas based on new standards and the | | results of Census 2000. Metropolitan New England City and Town | | Areas (NECTAs) and NECTA Divisions are being used for the six New | | England States, rather than county-based areas. Compared with | | 1990-census designated areas, these changes increase the number | | of metropolitan statistical areas and metropolitan NECTAs to 367 | | (plus 8 in Puerto Rico). Both the labor force data and the non- | | farm payroll employment data have been revised back to 1990 to | | reflect the changes in metropolitan area designations. The labor | | force data also reflect the new statewide model controls described | | above. More information about the changes to metropolitan areas | | is available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of | | Local Area Unemployment Statistics Web site at http://www.bls.gov/ | | lau/lausmsa.htm. | | | | The labor force data for 2004 in this release are subject to | | further revision when estimates for all 7,100 substate areas for | | that year are published on April 28. | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------- - 5 - Technical Note This release presents labor force and unemployment data from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program (tables 1 and 2) for 375 metropolitan statistical areas and metropolitan New England City and Town Area (NECTAs), including those in Puerto Rico. Estimates for over 30 metropolitan and NECTA divisions also are presented. Non- farm payroll employment estimates from the Current Employment Statis- tics (CES) program (tables 3 and 4) are provided for the same areas. State estimates were previously published in the news release, Regional and State Employment and Unemployment, and are republished in this release for ease of reference. The LAUS and CES programs are both federal-state cooperative endeavors. Labor force and unemployment--from the LAUS program Definitions. The labor force and unemployment data are based on the same concepts and definitions as those used for the official national estimates obtained from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a sample survey of households that is conducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) by the U.S. Census Bureau. The labor force includes both the employed and the unemployed. Employed persons are those who did any work at all for pay or profit in the survey reference week (the week including the 12th of the month) or worked 15 hours or more without pay in a family business or farm, plus those not working who have a job from which they were temporarily absent, whether or not paid, for such reasons as labor-management dispute, illness, or vacation. Unemployed persons are those who did not work at all (in the reference week), have actively looked for a job (sometime in the 4-week period ending with the survey reference week), and are currently available for work; persons on layoff expecting recall need not be looking for work to be counted as unemployed. Method of estimation. Effective January 2005, estimates for all census divisions, states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long beach-Glendale metropolitan division, and New York City are produced using updated time-series models with real-time benchmarking. Model-based estimation has been extended to the following areas and the respective balances-of-state: Chicago- Naperville-Joliet, IL Metropolitan Division; Cleveland-Elyria- Mentor, OH Metropolitan Statistical Area; Detroit-Warren-Livonia, MI Metropolitan Statistical Area; Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, FL Metropolitan Division; New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, LA Metropoli- tan Statistical Area; and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA Metropoli- tan Division. This will improve the statistical basis of the esti- mation for these areas and provide important tools for analysis, such as measures of error and seasonally adjusted series. For all other substate areas, estimates are prepared through indirect estimation procedures. Employment estimates, which are based largely on "place of work" estimates from the CES program, are adjusted to refer to place of residence as used in the CPS. Unemployment estimates are aggregates of persons previously employed in industries covered by state unemployment (UI) laws and entrants to the labor force data from the CPS. The substate estimates of employment and unemployment, which geographically exhaust the entire state, are adjusted proportionally to ensure that they add to the independently estimated state or balance-of- state totals. A detailed description of the estimation procedures is available from BLS upon request. Annual revisions. Labor force and unemployment data shown for the prior year reflect adjustments made at the end of each year, usually implemented with January estimates. The adjusted estimates reflect updated population data from the U.S. Census Bureau, any revisions in the other data sources, and model reesti- mation at the state and selected area level. All substate area estimates are adjusted to add to the revised model-based estimates. - 6 - Employment--from the CES program Definitions. Employment data refer to persons on establish- ment payrolls who receive pay for any part of the pay period which includes the 12th of the month. Persons are counted at their place of work rather than at their place of residence; those appearing on more than one payroll are counted on each payroll. Industries are classified on the basis of their principal activity in accordance with the 2002 version of the North American Industry Classification System. Method of estimation. The employment data are estimated using a "link relative" technique in which a ratio (link relative) of current-month employment to that of the previous month is computed from a sample of establishments reporting for both months. The estimates of employment for the current month are obtained by multiplying the estimates for the previous month by these ratios. Small-domain models are used as the official estimators for the approximately 10 percent of CES published series which have sample-based estimates. Annual revisions. Employment estimates are adjusted annual- ly to a complete count of jobs, called benchmarks, derived princi- pally from tax reports which are submitted by employers who are covered under state unemployment insurance (UI) laws. The benchmark information is used to adjust the monthly estimates between the new benchmark and the preceding one and also to establish the level of employment for the new benchmark month. Thus, the benchmarking process establishes the level of employ- ment, and the sample is used to measure the month-to-month changes in the level for the subsequent months. Reliability of the estimates The estimates presented in this release are based on sample survey and administrative data and thus are subject to sampling and other types of errors. Sampling error is a measure of sampling variability--that is, variation that occurs by chance because a sample rather than the entire population is surveyed. Survey data are also subject to nonsampling errors, such as those which can be introduced into the data collection and processing operations. Estimates not directly derived from sample surveys are subject to additional errors resulting from the special estimation processes used. The sums of individual items may not always equal the totals shown in the same tables because of rounding. With respect to the LAUS program, unemployment rates are computed, in most instances, from unrounded data rather than from data that may be displayed in the tables; differences, however, are generally insignificant. Labor force and unemployment estimates. Model-based error measures, including for over-the month change, are available on the BLS Web site at http://www/bls.gov/lau/lastderr.htm. Measures of nonsampling error are not available, but additional information on the subject is provided in the BLS monthly periodical, Employment and Earnings. Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error for state CES data at the supersector level and for metropolitan area CES data at the total nonfarm level are available on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. Information on recent benchmark revisions for states is available at http://www.bls.gov/ sae/. - 7 - Area definitions The substate area data published in this release reflect the standards and definitions established by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget on February 18, 2004. A detailed list of the geographic definitions is available on the Web at http://www. bls.gov/lau/laumsa.htm and also is published annually in the May issue of Employment and Earnings.

Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 04-03, dated February 18, 2004, and are available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm and in the May issue of Employment and Earnings. Areas in the six New England states are Metropolitan New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs), while areas in other states are county-based. Some metropolitan areas lie in two or more states. They are listed under the state that appears first in their titles. Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, Iowa-Ill., and Weirton-Steubenville, W.Va-Ohio, are the exceptions in that they are listed under Illinois and Ohio, respectively, for operational reasons. Estimates for the latest month are revised the following month, and at least 3 years of estimates are subject to revision at the end of the year, to incorporate updated inputs and reestimation. Data have been revised to incorporate new estimation methods and updated Census-2000 population controls. LABOR FORCE DATA LABOR FORCE DATA NOT SEASONALLY ADJUSTED NOT SEASONALLY ADJUSTED Table 2.

NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Data have been revised to reflect 2004 benchmark levels. Metropolitan area data have been revised back to 1990 to incorporate new area definitions. Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 04-03, dated February 18, 2004, and are available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm and in the May issue of Employment and Earnings. Areas in the six New England states are Metropolitan New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs), while areas in other states are county-based. Some metropolitan areas lie in two or more states. They are listed under the state that appears first in their titles.

NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Data have been revised to reflect 2004 benchmark levels. Metropolitan area data have been revised back to 1990 to incorporate new area definitions. Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 04-03, dated February 18, 2004, and are available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm and in the May issue of Employment and Earnings. Areas in the six New England states are Metropolitan New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs), while areas in other states are county-based. Some metropolitan areas lie in two or more states. They are listed under the state that appears first in their titles. Some divisions lie in more than one state, and some, like Camden, NJ, are totally outside the states under which their metropolitan areas are listed. This table introduces data for metropolitan divisions. Data for metropolitan divisions are available from 1990 forward.
